Review: Origins - VitaZing SPF 15 Energy Boosting Moisturizer

This has been my number one staple during the hot weather and I just had to rave about it to you guys. It's also the first Origins product that I have ever tried, so definitely a good first impression of the brand! Essentially it's a sheer tinted moisturizer that also contains SPF 15. Ever since I became obsessed with Caroline Hiron's blog, I've been trying to follow her tips when choosing skin care products. However, because of her ground...

Let's talk about spots....

I was going to do a "Tip of the Week" post regarding spots, but then I realized that I have A LOT of tips rather than just one. Over the years, I'd like to think I've accumulated a lot of information regarding pimples and acne. Not so much on severe acne (I've never actually had it, though don't worry I had other skin issues to deal with instead), but just your normal average breakouts. For me, the most important thing about breakouts...

I've been waiting a long time to write this review. I've been testing out the Clarins Instant Light Natural Lip Perfector product for ages because I just couldn't make up my mind on it. However, I have finally come to a conclusion with this extremely hyped product. I like it. Do I love it? No. But I do like it... This Lip Perfector is described as a "melting gel with a deliciously sweet flavor and 3D shimmer for luscious, smooth,...

Review: Schwarzkopf Cotton Fresh Dry Shampoo (Trocken-Shampoo)

I have to be honest, I've been avoiding dry shampoos for the past few months. Why? Mainly because they don't work that well with my hair. Every dry shampoo I've tried either doesn't work or lasts only for a couple hours and goes back to being greasy. So when I tried this dry shampoo by Schwarzkopf, I was surprisingly very impressed! So of course, I had to let you all know :). It did everything a dry shampoo promises to do: absorbs...

Review: BeYu Color Touch Lip Biggie

Anyone who is close to me will already know this, but I have decided to also announce it on my blog.... I have moved! I have said a temporary goodbye to my beloved home country Canada to go and study in Europe, more specifically in Germany :). I am mainly announcing this just so I can review some products that are sold over here and nobody will get too confused. Turns out, Germany has quite a few of their own cosmetic and skincare brands...

Review: Michael Todd's Sensitive Skin Discovery Set + Eye Cream

I'm sure by now we have all heard about Michael Todd True Organic's... Youtubers and Bloggers have been raving about the skin care line for months now and I have to admit, I was swept away as well by this trend. Since everyone only had great things to say about Michael Todd, I have to admit, I had high expectations. The fact that Michael Todd's products are made up of mostly natural ingredients really impressed me as there aren't...

Tip of the Week #2

Hello everybody! This week's tip is going to be short and simple. It's going to be all about removing eye makeup. I see so many people just rubbing their eyes violently with a cotton pad with no disregard towards their lashes or future wrinkles. So I've decided to write out a little outline on how to go about removing your eye makeup, especially mascara. Let's begin! Rule Number One: NO RUBBING ALLOWED! Nobody wants wrinkles...

May Favorites 2013

Where has this month gone?!? I can't believe it's already June! To be honest, I haven't been using that many products religiously this month, it really felt like I was using something different each day. I've also been trying out a lot of new products this month which I want to feature in separate posts. But I have managed to scrap a few things that I've used frequently in May :). 1. Michael Todd - Tropical Fruit Enzyme Exfoliant...
